Is it possible to take the rainwater and use it by collecting it on rooftops, gutters and concrete and allow it to flow into local reservoirs on the property to use once more? Indeed that would conserve water for places with severe droughts wouldn't it? Sure it would and it would indeed make since in the Middle East, Arid Regions and of course in Australia with their big droughts too.
One idea I had was to put one in a Bus Stop, collect water runoff from buildings into the structure and whatever hit the top of it, then use it later after going thru filters to steam clean sidewalks without hooking up to city water you see?

By conserving water as human populations grow and the land mass heats up in some places we can re-vitalize our civilizations and prevent hardships of limited flows in our civilization by using such methods to assist us.
Today we have many entrepreneurs designing rooftop gardens using the natural rainfall rather than allowing the water to escape become polluted and become wasted on the streets below. Conserving water is smart so today when our online think tank was asked; "Can We Recycle Rain Water to Use Again in Cleaning Operations?" the answer came back yes, well, yes we can! We can use this water in many ways and with a little filtering we can even use it for cleaning our cities. Consider all this in 2006.

Harvesting rainwater for reuse is not only the hip "green" thing to do, but it is becoming increasingly necessary as our climate changes. Droughts in NC, GA, CA, AZ, NM and around the world have driven people to collect this free and vital resource.
Rainwater can be collected for nearly all domestic uses. Collect it in a barrel to water your garden and wash your car...a savior to those in areas where water restrictions have become law. In the US we spend massive amounts of money and effort to purify water to the highest standards, yet only 5% of that water is actually used for drinking. 95% of that water is used for other applications that do not require drinking standards. Households looking to reduce that ridiculous number have installed large water tanks and/or cisterns to collect the rainwater, and then reuse that water for their gardens, washing machines, and toilets...applications where simple potable water is needed.
Some chose, some by necessity, to take themselves completely off the water-main by collecting their rainwater in 5000 gallon or larger tanks, purifying that water with UV, Ozone, and/or reverse osmosis and into drinkable water.
For more on the potentials of rainwater harvesting and everything you need to set yourself up, www.RainTankDepot.com seems to be the place to go.
